Thing 3: Blog Search Tools

I'm not sure about this one. I tried several of the search engines and just can't figure how I would use them in my normal life. I see how they work and it's good to know about them and the differences in features but hmmmm.....

Why would I want to search for a blog post? Maybe this is because I'm reading a billion blogs already (so that might be a slight exaggeration). I did try the google blog search and the bloglines search. I searched for apron collecting and came up with mostly junk in both of them. Probably not a really hot topic ;-)

I did however find the Apron Goddesses blog. As an avid apron collector I think I might actually add this to my bloglines so I can follow regularly. And she stumbled upon the Apron Book which I own (and was fortunate to meet the author of).

I'm being pretty excited I'm still caught up (though we're only on Thing 3). We'll see what happens after the first of February. Off to go read some other folks posts to see what I missed since I couldn't get my head into this.
